Maimonides hospital

I would like to hear about some of your experiences of giving birth at Maimonides Hospital. My Dr. Is affiliated with this hospital and this is where I'll be delivering my 2nd child. I would like to know your experiences with the nurses, how are the rooms, do they let the baby stay with you at all times, what kinda baby supplies do they give you and send you home with? How would you rate your experience? Thanks so much ladies

They stopped giving you formula to take home. But they will provide for your baby while your in the hospital. The rooms are new, but it's a very busy hospital so it might take a while to get a room. They do let your baby stay with you.

Take a maternity tour at the hospital. I am delivering there as that is where my dr is affiliated. Everyone in my family was born there including myself and even my mother 62 yrs ago. Maternity ward is a new addition but it still looks like crap(sorry it's true) nothing to look at! Rooms are very small and all shared semi private no private rooms are available (2beds per room) the triage is basically a hallway I rooms. Busiest hospital in the state (7,000 a year). Labor rooms are fine and of course private. Husband/SO cannot stay overnight visiting hrs are 7am-9:30pm the hospital supposedly promotes rooming in which is great but the rooms are sooo small and shared the thought of it literally makes me want to cry. I hate it there but it's a good hospital, closest to home and do not want to take the energy and stress of switching dr.'s.

Thanks so much. I'm disappointed in the fact that SO aren't allowed to stay overnight but that's ok cause I'll have all my means of communication with me LOL. Everything I guess I can tolerate for a couple of days. Thanks again

You are welcome. I wish I had a ton of luxuries to report but then again it's a great hospital for birthing. Goodluck, when are you due? (Sorry if you already said I didn't recheck your post). Due in march and I use Dr. Ronald Berka in bay Ridge.

Chrissy, don't worry Methodist is really nice and has a really relaxing feel but more importantly its still a great hospital! Maimonides is a great hospital but damn its old and ugly (not important though). Had an appt with my dr and told him I toured Maimonides and his reply was "wow, and you came back" I told him my concerns and he said he wouldn't choose to be affiliated with any other hospital in Brooklyn, he believes it is the best and the hospital has some of the best specialists and experts so in the event he needs any support or extra care for mom or baby it's there. He said the main inconvenience I the hospital Is indeed very busy and on occasion moms will wait in triage while in labor waiting for a delivery room (agh!!). But let's pray that won't happen for us all!!! Goodluck to all you ladies!!!
